prepend_ids

It's recommended when saving to CSV as these values otherwise get treated as numeric and as a result the values are often less precise due to rounding or other class-related quirks. Defaults to true.

na

Value to be used for missing (NA)s. Defaults to empty character, "".

fileEncoding

Encoding to be used when saving to CSV. defaults to "UTF-8".
